EARLY ACCESS: We're Not In Storybrooke Anymore (Once Upon a Time In Wonderland Recap)
Added 2024-05-25 00:05:00 +0000 UTCSHE'S DONE!!!! I hope you enjoy this recap and review of a 13 episode television show that absolutely dominated my life for over a month. I love it, it makes me so mad, it has driven me crazy, I worry that trying to do the onceuponatime season 4 video after getting so invested in Will Scarlet might actually end me.
I'm so desperate to be able to talk about this show with anyone, please tell me if it drives you just as crazy.

I'm so late to this party, but this video is actually what got me to join your patreon. Today is the fifth time I have watched it, and it absolutely fascinates me every single time.

2024-06-04 03:18:41 +0000 UTCWhen I was younger I used to have a reoccurring dream (nightmare?) of the Cheshire Cat’s disembodied eyes and mouth staring into my bedroom window, sometimes dripping blood, and the depiction in this show doesn’t exactly help. However, it is so fucking funny to me that he is voiced by Keith David in this.

Haley Whipjack
2024-05-30 20:14:53 +0000 UTCthe change into the mourning jacket out of respect really did it for me, i was already bewitched by mad hatter haley but the level of how anastasia-pilled you were really added to my enjoyment of this video

2024-05-30 20:13:10 +0000 UTCOk, did Snow White's dad in season 1 not wish for the Genie's freedom like immediately??? So they just retconned that rule?? 10/10 video, my brain just keeps screaming this
Gabby Cassidy
2024-05-30 19:40:29 +0000 UTCahhhhh can't wait to see you there!!
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-28 19:46:11 +0000 UTCi dont know what they put in there but it broke me a little
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-28 19:45:42 +0000 UTCI watched this show as it aired. I was too deep into OUAT for the first four seasons, and then took a HARD out when season 4 ended. Then I got sucked into Agents of SHIELD. Which... lord, basically the same show but comic books? If you've watched them both, you get it. Anyway can't wait to see you at GenCon!

2024-05-28 09:46:30 +0000 UTCThis is my favorite Once Upon a Time recap so far just for how incredibly feral you were about this show. Loved it.
Julianna Backer
2024-05-28 02:44:23 +0000 UTCVictorian England is its own separate realm? No. No OUAT I refuse. Go home OUAT youre drunk!

2024-05-27 16:08:51 +0000 UTCWhoopi Goldberg rabbit and her rabbit kids took me out so bad
Chase English
2024-05-27 15:25:38 +0000 UTCI described her to my friend as "if Regina Mills and Quinn Fabray had a baby sister that they would ditch all the time." She delights me. I would die for her.
Taylor Burke
2024-05-27 06:45:02 +0000 UTCI was truly so obsessed with this show for like a year when I was 14 and like all good shows I found clips of it on YouTube while watching something else. Side note: I fully thought the actor playing Cyrus was middle Eastern but like, Yikes.
Emma Thomas
2024-05-27 00:53:08 +0000 UTCTeenage me was deeply obsessed with Will and Anastasia. I absolutely agree that they are the best part of this show! I actually forgot that Anastasia got killed, and I think I blocked it out because I was so devastated by it. Also, the Lizard episode is permanently ingrained in my brain because it was so horrific to me when I first watched it.
Emma Stuart
2024-05-26 06:50:38 +0000 UTCno like he's a terrible man and i didn't say it enough but also. "that's just a large chair"??? "i should have held you down longer"???? kinda hits.
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-26 00:14:42 +0000 UTCYou gotta admit: it is new levels of OUAT bad parent to look at the kid you tried to kill and say your only regret was it didn’t stick. Nobody could hate like this man and it almost makes me respect him
ashraven
2024-05-25 23:52:04 +0000 UTCit's so excellent, all the characters have silly little outfits and accents and the cgi and everything is so goofy and im genuinely pretty convinced that no one has seen this show but me lol

2024-05-25 22:23:04 +0000 UTC.....oh no
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 21:53:55 +0000 UTCwe will never know!!!! we will never know which victorian england they were all from!!! there's just two options for some reason!!!
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 21:53:47 +0000 UTCi have not! i'll have to look into it, it sounds delightful
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 21:53:09 +0000 UTCAlso Hermes trying to get the pointer is my favorite thing
Blue Ellsworth
2024-05-25 21:38:39 +0000 UTCThe way you describe Will really explains Bishop Batters-Westberry and why he's the way he is (which is also why I'm obsessed with him)
Blue Ellsworth
2024-05-25 21:35:17 +0000 UTCi can't believe you predicted victorian england being its own dimension back in season 3 like is that were the darlings are from?? or are they from regular earth victorian england?? this is the most deranged world building iv ever heard i cant stop thinking about entire dimention that is just just vistorian england WHAT DO YOU MEAN
Fish
2024-05-25 20:59:57 +0000 UTChaley whipjack have you watched the magical legend of the leprechauns bc it is a very silly very wonderland-y kids series that i thought was a feverdream from my childhood but it is not and it also featured whoopi goldburg which is silly
nonexistant_mountains_theory
2024-05-25 20:29:34 +0000 UTC"It's kind of devastating... *how* hot Jafar is" legittttt when OUAT In Wonderland was being advertised I was gonna watched it anyway but ALSO I was super excited because I *adored* Naveen Andrews (I knew him as Sayid from "Lost" whom I was *in love* with lmao) and wanted to see him as an evil wizard primary character. So glad my teenaged good taste is being validated in this way lol. (I was *also* very obsessed with Anastasia too, and was *sooooo* excited when Will popped up in OUAT proper.)
TheAceApples
2024-05-25 20:04:35 +0000 UTCi did watched this whole show and i didn't remembered a single thing of this plot!! thank you haley for filling this black hole in my mind ps.: is jafar gale?!
ali xx
2024-05-25 19:31:54 +0000 UTCas someone who watched season 4 of OUAT but stopped watching OUATIW halfway through... i am wracking my brain trying to figure out how the fuck they get this ending to fit with season 4. sooooo that'll be interesting to hear you explain at some point also always fun to hear you try to pronounce my last name, knowing it even stumps a lot of my fellow danish people XD great video!
julie stahnke
2024-05-25 18:56:32 +0000 UTChe did objectively get turbo-groomed
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 18:29:19 +0000 UTCYES thank you so much, I am so devastated that we don't get her in the main show. I want to see her interact with Regina and I want it NOW
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 18:28:15 +0000 UTCi am holding kipperlilly in my hands i am so obsessed with her
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 18:20:53 +0000 UTCit just has to be after season 4. it doesn't make any sense otherwise.
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 18:17:52 +0000 UTCoh see this is what i get for not knowing my beowulf, i probably should have figured he was from something else
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 18:17:23 +0000 UTCLITERALLY imagine wanting your dad to love you so badly that you accidentally engineer a situation in which he gets paternal over someone else entirely
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 18:17:00 +0000 UTCSPOILERS Oh man, first time around the bit about "this mysterious old man is very affectionate and concerned about Cyrus, he sort of adopts Cyrus" just sounded like a relatively mundane explanation of their relationship, but in hindsight, OOF that must have made Jafar SO MAD.

2024-05-25 18:06:41 +0000 UTCI never watched this season I just remember commercial and I’m so excited!!
Caroline Oden
2024-05-25 17:45:17 +0000 UTCthe aladdin thing was weird enough but nothing could have prepared me for finding out they put grendel from beowulf in the alice and wonderland season.
Henri
2024-05-25 07:11:00 +0000 UTCAh yes another video I will force all my friends and loved ones to watch so they understand the madness!
Kazran
2024-05-25 06:48:18 +0000 UTCIt’s so validating to see that I’m not the only one as deeply not normal about Anastasia as I am.
Taylor Burke
2024-05-25 06:28:27 +0000 UTCThis video was soooo good. I have always liked this show and this was such a fun way to relive it. Thanks Haley!
Chloe McNamara-Bates
2024-05-25 05:22:21 +0000 UTCgod damn it you sold this so well I almost want to watch it, I would also pick anastasia as best girl who did nothing wrong
Spapples
2024-05-25 05:13:47 +0000 UTCtitle works well and i loved the wife of the white rabbit
Joshua Caliendo
2024-05-25 05:05:33 +0000 UTCI'm rewatching the entire series alongside these recaps, & Wonderland is such a fun palate-cleanser. Kinda sad that we don't see (this version of) Anastasia again. My headcanon for Will is that Wonderland takes place after Season 4. Have the writers explicitly said otherwise? Yes. But what do they know? You're so right about the ending. They even set up Will's empty apartment in Storybrooke! Also why does Grendel eat people if he's just a dude who was disfigured by the Red Queen? Was he a cannibal pre-disfigurement? Bit odd.
Scoobert Doobert
2024-05-25 05:01:21 +0000 UTCas someone who has not seen the show I am looking forward to this
jentlesana
2024-05-25 04:57:51 +0000 UTCokay i’m gonna start this tomorrow while im at work but i need to know, what was your vibe in the end of Fantasy High Junior Year/Rat Grinder deaths?
The Sheriff
2024-05-25 03:49:33 +0000 UTCI am a simple woman: I see Haley drops a new Once video, I listen. Also: your ending for these characters is once again, much better than the stuff this show can come up with
chronic_escapee
2024-05-25 03:30:48 +0000 UTChe just sort of climbs all over and sometimes needs to get bowled somewhere else
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 02:27:22 +0000 UTCjust what i needed for my late night cleaning spree
Joshua Caliendo
2024-05-25 01:46:53 +0000 UTCWe love the tossing of the cat like a well used pillow
Chris
2024-05-25 01:35:59 +0000 UTCI love that someone else is as obsessed with this fairy tale soap opera as i am! I'm so excited to watch this one!
HeliotropeFox
2024-05-25 01:01:58 +0000 UTCi think this fact also makes neal's entire story even weirder actually, somehow.
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 00:53:32 +0000 UTCi can NOT believe that victorian england is its own dimension. like i genuinely cant move past it. i feel insane edited to add that i just got to "our boy got like.. turbo groomed!" and i might as well've had the wind knocked out of me
cami
2024-05-25 00:47:56 +0000 UTCI feel like I hallucinated this, I'm so excited to actually learn what the plot of this show I watched when I was 11 was!
FoolerywithNorrie
2024-05-25 00:44:31 +0000 UTCI'm about to I have such a good night, let's GOOOOO (Alt title suggestion, a riff on "Down the rabbit hole"?)
Alanna Breton
2024-05-25 00:27:30 +0000 UTCI think the title works!
annnnnnnna
2024-05-25 00:26:02 +0000 UTCALSO what do we think about the title, I wanted the snappy first bit to be directly related to familiar onceuponatime concepts but that is entirely a wizard of oz reference, not wonderland, and I don't know if that's too weird
Haley Whipjack
2024-05-25 00:22:37 +0000 UTCI need you to know my coworker just watched me look at my phone, see the notification email pop up, and yell "LET'S GO FAM" at said phone. So yes I'm excited to watch.
